Finding a decent plumber!!!!!

Welcome back sir, we were just talking about you (and a few others) a couple of days ago.
Nice things of course

Hi,

I agree with what you say. The point I am trying to make is that it is good procedure to have Gas and water bond in place. We don,t advise people to check whether their pipework is extraneous or not, we always reccomend that it should be bonded.

Regards.

Who is this we you are referring to, and why do you say it is good practice to have gas and water bond in place?

If it doesn't need to be bonded then don't bond it!

People need to loose the sheep mentality of blindly following without getting their brain involved.

Hi,

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Thanks for the banter.

Regards.

I reckon he's been and gone like one of my flashes of genius!
Reminds me, haven't heard from Specialist for a long time, he was good.

So if you came to my home you'd advise me to pay you to have things done which are unnecessary?
Presumably you're quite happy to charge me for this unnecessary work?
Hmmm, Matthew Allbright and Dom Littlewood would love you.

 

[trev]

It is good procedure to prove that something is extraneous or not before telling someone that they need to have this done. There are no two ways about this.

It's not banter, it's a pretty basic part of the job.

Hi,

I have always understood from the regulations that a bonding conductor should be connected to any water installation pipes, gas installation pipes central heating etc, etc. Ok, it may be the case that these are not extraneous , but as i mentioned in an earlier post, things change over time; and yes it may be over the top, belt and braces and all that, but it is something I believe is necessary. Perhaps we don't all agree with that, but it does make life more exciting having these discussions, seeing we all interpret things in different ways.

Regards.

Aye, metal pipes coming out of the ground!

Jesus H Christ. I'm done with this stupidity. I'm unsubscribing before I say something that'll get me banned.

A little IR test maybe. lol

Hi,
Lets put it this way, if you were doing a new build, would you put all of your wiring in place then wait to the end of the job to see if you needed to run in any bonding cables?

Regards.

 

[davesparks]

No, I'd find out before I ran any cables in!
New build is likely going to be plastic incoming services with plastic internal pipes for the wet stuff these days so chances of needing bonding are somewhere between slim and none.

The only thing that will require bonding, and only as a damned peace keeping exercise, is the gas. The damned gas safe bods have got plumbers convinced that every gas meter must have a 10mm bond on it or else the apocalypse will be upon us or something.

G/Y every where job done.
